About

Mateusz Brylka is a robotics researcher whose work bridges autonomous systems and public health, most notably through his pioneering application of far-UVC disinfection technology. His landmark 2022 paper, "Far-UVC Disinfection with Robotic Mobile Manipulator," addresses a critical need exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic: safer, more effective sterilization. By integrating ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) into a mobile manipulator, Brylka demonstrated how robots can autonomously navigate and disinfect high-touch environments—reducing human exposure to pathogens while improving coverage and efficiency. This work, which has already garnered 10 citations, sits at the intersection of mobile robotics, manipulation, and infection control. His contributions are particularly significant for healthcare facilities, public transit, and shared workspaces, where traditional disinfection methods fall short. By engineering a robotic system that combines mobility with precise UV delivery, Brylka has opened new pathways for autonomous infection mitigation. His research not only advances the field of service robotics but also offers a tangible, scalable solution for future pandemic preparedness and everyday hygiene.
